Really...what did u not like about the movie?

I think I just expected too much from Aamir. The execution of the story should have been much better. I can't believe that Aamir agreed to do this movie though.:/

Aamir's Talaash gets a big bang opening at Box Office

Director Reema Kagti's second directorial venture Talaash, starring Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Rani Mukherjee in leads, has hit the screens today (November 30) and received an overwhelming response at the Box Office in India. Trade experts say that this psychological thriller will surely break the first day collection record of Shahrukh Khan's Jab Tak Hai Jaan at the domestic business centres.

Aamir Khan was last seen in a full-pledged role in the movie 3 Idiots in 2009. His fans were desperately waiting for him to rock the screens from the past three years. Aamir mania seemed to be at its peak on the release day of Talaash, which has hit 2500+ screens in the country. The theatres across the country screening Talaash were overflowing with his fans in the morning and matinee shows.

Talaash had huge amount of advance ticket booking prior its release and remaining few tickets were being sold in black market, where one ticket cost was more than Rs 1000. In many places, disappointed Aamir Khan fans, who had come to watch the film in the first show on the first day, turned violent when they did not get tickets. Finally, the theatre owners had to call the police to control the mob.

Talaash has managed to drive unprecedented crowd outside both single screens and multiplexes across the country. The suspense thriller has registered 100% occupancy in both single screens and multiplexes across the country in the morning and matinee shows on the first day. As per early trends, its business is expected to cross Rs 20 crore mark at the domestic Box Office on the first day.

However, Aamir Khan had intentionally not promoted the movie Talaash prior its release and he was said to be following different strategy - "not-in-your-face promotional strategies". Many in the B-Town were keeping their fingers crossed about its opening. But Mr Perfectionist's new strategy has hit the bull's eye. The movie has received positive reviews from film critics and now, the word of mouth is expected to takes its business upwards over the weekend.

Stay locked to this space to known about Talaash first day collection at Indian Box Office.

Wonderful movie..

Single Screens And Mass Belts Low For Talaash Friday 30th November 2012 16.00 IST
Boxofficeindia.Com Trade Network Talaash could not open well at single screens and multiplexes in mass dominated circuits and there was not much improvement in the shows after. The multiplexes are in urban cities are good but eventually there is a limit to how far these cinema's can take a film. The single screen opening is around 40%. The first day will come out with a decent total but not the sort of number expected from a wide release Aamir Khan film after three years. The average business in many circuits will tell on the first day business despite big contribution's by metro multiplexes.
The business in the big circuits (Mumbai and Delhi/UP) is not optimum as if Mumbai city has good numbers, Gujarat has low figures. If Delhi city is good, UP is recording low numbers.

Business in the big cities and good multiplexes and single-screen cinemas will be good but the film won't find many takers in small centres, ordinary multiplexes and ordinary single-screen cinemas.
